Bone loss occurs when your body does not form enough new bone to replace the old bone that has been reabsorbed by your body. A variety of factors, such as diet, age, corticosteroids, low calcium and vitamin D levels, lack of exercise, certain medical conditions, menopause and smoking can affect bone growth and development. Along with your prescribed treatment plan, regular exercise, lifestyle changes and certain vitamins may encourage bone growth.
